They also may not see it as their job or role to communicate directly with these audiences. Special populations include elderly people, disabled people, homeless people, housebound populations, racial and cultural minorities, linguistic minorities, illiterate populations, transient populations (for example, tourists, business travellers and migrant workers) and institutionalized populations.

The history of development intervention is marked by multiple failures at dialogue between analysts and practitioners; an impasse caused in part by the failure to recon- cile disparate professional languages. In Kenya, where critical thought for this book was generated, a cause célèbre in livestock intensification has been the ill-fated Maasai Project of the 1960s and 1970s. The wider East Africa region too is known for its repeated failures to sustain projects in agricultural extension, water manage- ment, and drought preparedness.

Ninety million people migrate for work globally every year and an increasing percentage of those workers are moving between emerging economies, rather than to industrialized nations. Otherwise known as South-South labor migrants, these workers are filling jobs in manufacturing, agriculture, construction and service industries in countries like Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt. Migrant workers provide a cost-effective and hardworking labor force in labor-intensive industries, but they are also vulnerable, isolated and often heavily indebted.

International migrants from developing countries are of both rural and urban origin (ratios vary from country to country and change over time according to socio-economic conditions in both sending and receiving areas). However, we will focus on the rural factors that motivate vast sectors of the population to consider migration in order to improve their lives and diversify their sources of income. During the last 50 years, 800 million people have migrated from rural to urban areas, and it is expected that these migrations will continue to increase.

International migrants include rural and urban women and men with different socio-economic profiles and ages. Some are highly educated and specialized people (whose migration is referred to as ‘brain drain’). Some are poor people for whom migration is a subsistence strategy. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) estimates that the typical profile of migrants comprises young women and men from 15 to 35 years of age, 8 generally belonging to medium and low socio- economic groups, but not to the poorest segments of society (Hatton and Williamson 2004, 1-30).

One of the most spectacular population movements, which still affects the modern world, was the transatlantic slave trade from the mid- sixteenth century to the 1820s. The forced and violent transfer of millions of Africans has had an important impact on the composition of the American population. Towards 1818 almost half the Brazilian population (4 million inhabitants) was composed of slaves. Today it is estimated that some 40 million people in the Americas and the Caribbean are descended from African slaves (Stalker 2007).
